Sealed With Love Day 3 Sneak Peeks | Honey Bee Stamps

Welcome back to Day 3 of the Honey Bee Stamps Sealed With Love Release! Make sure you visit the Honey Bee Blog for more Day 3 inspiration from the Design Team. Please note that new links will not be active until the Release goes live on December 15th, 2021 @9pm CST.

This circular-shaped Wedding Card features the Delicate Doily Card Base Die and the newest Lovely Layers: Roses Dies. I also used the Be Mine Bitty Buzzword Stamps and Dies for the sentiment.

The first thing I did was die cut and assemble the Rose. To the edges of the petals and the leaves, I ink blended some Walnut Distress Ink to add some depth and dimension.

I then assembled the shaker front using two of the Delicate Doily Card Base Dies. To create the window for the shaker I die cut one of Double Stitched Circle Dies in the center of the Doily. I used Bokeh Lights Confetti Mix for my shaker bits. Honey Bee also has Acetate now which is awesome and used it for my shaker window. Before gluing all the pieces together for the shaker panel, I stamped out the Mr. and Mrs. Stamp from the Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine using Intense Black Ink. To the front of the shaker window, I then added the ampersand that I die cut, stacked, and glued 3 layers together.

For the back panel of the card, I glued two Doily layers together as I wanted the impressions on both the front and the back of the card. I then scored created a fold line across the top of the doily to make the hinge so that I could glue it to the front shaker panel. 

I finished by adding the Rose to the front of the card and added some of the same confetti sprinkles. This card fits nicely into a 5 1/2" Square Envelope, even with all its dimension.

Hope you are inspired by this Circular Shaped Wedding Card. Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow for day 4 sneak peeks... Until then, Happy Crafting!

Cityscape Friendship Cards | Hero Arts

I am back again today with a few cards featuring the amazing December Add-Ons from this month's Release from Hero Arts.

This first card features the City Window Fancy Die that I turned into a shaker card. To create the sunset background I ink blended Lemon Drop, Berry Smoothie, and Splash Reactive Inks together. 

To create the shaker window,  I added acetate to the window opening then lined the edges with foam tape. I then filled the shaker area with a sequin mix and closed it up with the blended background. To finish off this clean and simple card I stamped the sentiment "wishing we lived closer" from the Wherever You Go stamp set using Intens-ified Black Ink.

For this next colorful creation, I combined a couple of the new die sets to create this Cityscape scene. I used dies from the City Park HeroScape Frame Cuts as well as the Tri-fold Edge City Fancy Dies. To make it look like the lights were all on in the buildings I trace the outline of the buildings onto a piece of yellow cardstock and then fussy cut them out. I then layered and glue the die-cut buildings onto the yellow cardstock layer.

Doesn't this remind you of New York City and the views you might see looking from Central Park? I can't wait to visit NYC again. Hopefully someday soon!

I used a bunch of scrap pieces of paper to create the layers for this scene and then backed them onto a piece of Pitch Black Cardstock that I had splattered with Unicorn Pigment Ink. I also used the Unicorn Pigment Ink to stamp the sentiment from the City Park HeroScape that was then heat set using White Detail Embossing Powder.

To finish my starry sky I added a scattering of bubbles.

Honey Bee Stamps Deerly Loved Release | Hello Friend 3D Window Shaker Card

Hello friends, and welcome to the Bee Inspired week for Honey Bees Stamps latest Deerly Loved release. My card today features the Threshold Card Dies, but as you can see here I have created a 3D Shaker window rather than using the die as intended.

To create a window all I did was trim the diecut pieces for the door frame in half. For fun I thought I would turn it into a shaker window as well which will also give it dimension and the 3D look.

To make the window more realistic looking, I added some window panes by  I trimming some thin strips of paper and gluing them behind the two openings of the frame. I then glued a light piece of blue paper to the background to close the back side of what will be the window.

Next, I built up the shaker with foam, added the Honey Mix Sequins and then added the acetate piece and closed up the shaker window with the top frame. I then added the wreath to the center of the window that I had made using the accompanying wreath builder dies. To the wreath, I glued on some of the red and white confetti from the Surprise Confetti Mix and filled them in with glossy accents to give them some dimension. I then added the bow and glued the ribbon end behind the window frame.

For the hello sentiment in the center of the wreath, I die cut the hello 3 times, stacked and glued them together and then glued the hello in place. I then added a window ledge by die cutting the threshold piece and then shortening the width of it as it is made to fit on the door, by inserting the die cut piece back into the die and cutting off the end by doing some partial die-cutting.

All that was left to do was glue the 3D window to the card panel and stamp the friend from the Friends Like You set.

Hope this card inspired you today. Make sure you stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for lots more inspiration using these Threshold dies from our design team.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Circle Shaped Shaker Thank You Cards

Hello friends!

Hope you all are enjoying the beautiful Summer weather 😎Unfortunately my time outdoors has been limited as I have been suffering from really bad seasonal allergies. So weird, because I have never had this issue before 👎Thank goodness for allergy medication!

Anyways, my cards today were inspired by the summer season. I wanted to create some bright and colorful flowers for my cards and though the coloring is a little more artistic vs. realistic I still feel like they look very summery to me.

To create my cards, I first stamped out the spring blossoms using Juicy Ink and heat set it using white embossing powder. Next, I colored the images in using Tombow Dual Brush Pens. This coloring was truly an experiment as I have never done anything like this before and I was really excited on how it turned out! I need to give Alex from Alexsyberia credit, who totally inspired me to step out of my comfort zone. Her cards are GORGEOUS and her coloring is so unique. Follow her on →Instagram, for more inspiration!

Now to create the actual circle shaped card, I cut out the card base by using the Donut Card dies. I then cut out the colored cardstock with the circle die from the same donut set and glued it to the top of the card front. 

Next, I used the two largest Double Stitched Circle Dies and die cut the frame for the shaker front of the card. I then added the acetate to the frame and built it up with foam to create the space for the shaker bits. To the first card, I added I then added a mix of the Aurora Light, Shooting Star Confetti and heart sequins. For the second card, I just left out the Shooting star mix.

I then finished off the card fronts by adding the Spring Blossom flower clusters and the layered Large Thanks dies.

I hope you were inspired by these fun Circle Shaped Shaker Thank You Cards. I appreciate the time you spent here, so thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time everyone... Happy Crafting 👋
